HALFWAY THERE GRAPHIC MEMOIR OF SELF DISCOVERY HC GN (C: 0-1
(W) Mari, Christine (A) Mari, Christine (C) Ben Towie
LITTLE BROWN INK
StockID: 127777 SKU: AUG241898
Christine has always felt she is just half: Half American- half Japanese. As a biracial Japanese American who was born in Tokyo but raised in the US- she knows all too well what it's like to be a part of two different worlds but never feeling as though you belong to either. Now on the brink of adulthood- Christine decides it's time to return to the place she once called home. So she sets forth on a year abroad in Tokyo- believing that this is where she truly belongs. After years of feeling like an outsider- now she will finally be complete. Except… Tokyo isn't the answer she thought it would be. Instead of fitting in- Christine finds herself a fish out of water- as being half of two cultures isolates her in ways she'd never imagined. All she can do is try to stay afloat for the rest of the year-still figuring out who she is- what she wants in life- and whether she'll ever truly be more than halfway there. Author-illustrator Christine Mari explores what it means to lose and find yourself in this moving narrative of belonging and home.
